Lyme Disease A-Z

Ticks (also known as arachnids) are a fact of life here in New England, and, in fact, in many places on earth. Gardeners, golfers, hikers, hunters, bird watchers and anyone that spends time outdoors should be aware of ticks which includes moms, dads, kids, every family member including four legged ones.
 
An infected tick can spread Lyme Disease. Not all ticks are infected with Lyme Disease. A tick bite can be difficult to detect. Anyone who spends time outdoors (hikers, golfers, hunters, bird watchers, bike riders, etc. ) should learn how to check themselves for fleas, ticks and insect bites and should take the time to perform this precautionary measure. The actual size of an adult tick in about the size of this 0, or the size of a pin head.

Most cases of Lyme diseases are from the Northeast. Nearly 90% of all Lyme disease cases have been reported in the Northeastern part of the US. Many people are being infected from ticks in their own yard.

Come learn more about Lyme Disease from Kathy Lannon, Millis Board of Health.  This is a free program and will benefit all.

This past April, our club presented "You are invited to a Compost Tea!" with Master Gardener Kathi Gariepy. Composting at home is easy and lucrative as it produces "Black Gold" for your gardens. Compost Tea is a solution from compost used to add nutrients to your veggie and flower gardens. Why buy this expensive product in stores when Kathi will tell us how to make it at home. Millis residents, join Kathi and her worm friends on Millis Community Media Channels 8 & 11. Kathi has presented two programs in the past "The Dirt on Dirt" and "Bugs" which can also be seen on cable from time to time.
